Description
A new and exceptional vintage violin bass model, beautifully aged for the authentic look of a vintage instrument, but with the advantage of a sound new bass. To achieve the remarkably aged finish, our violin makers use secret paint recipes and working techniques.
The 63-RLC is inspired by the bass we made for Paul McCartney in 1963: with a non-edged 2-piece neck and strip tuners. Every bass is a unique instrument, no two are exactly the same, because the aging process is done individually by hand. All models are supplied with a pearloid pickguard (not assembled) and Höfner vintage belt and case.
